Description
Batti, a ten-year-old boy, and his friend eke out a living by cleaning cars and selling books and trinkets on Mumbai's local trains. It's hard work, but the boys have a dream of a better life and the ambition to match. One day, Batti is challenged by an irksome passenger to read from one of his own books. What follows is a testament to his character—as well as a lesson for the passenger in not judging a book by its cover.
